C -- A&E Conservation Practice Design Services

The Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) plans to negotiate four Indefinite Delivery-Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contracts for architectural and engineering conservation practice design services. Six firms were initially selected as eligible for contract awards, with the highest-ranked four—HDR Engineering, Engineering and Water Resources, Inc., Royal Consulting Services, Inc., and LBFH, Inc.—being the primary candidates for negotiation. If NRCS is unable to reach a satisfactory agreement with any of these firms, negotiations will then proceed with one of the remaining selected firms, with prior notice issued before such negotiations. Additionally, NRCS reserves the right to award contracts to one or more of the remaining firms if additional contracts are required. The solicitation, identified as Reference-Number-NRCS-02-FL-04 and posted on June 18, 2004, falls under NAICS code 541330, which covers engineering services. The contract will be managed by Contract Specialist Lynn F Merrill, who can be contacted via email or phone. The work will involve delivering engineering design services related to conservation practices, although specific location details are not provided. The announcement emphasizes a flexible, ongoing procurement process aimed at securing multiple qualified contractors to meet NRCS’s conservation engineering needs.
